What you need to know about the chargemaster

Scripps Health is committed to being transparent about our charges. The information provided below contains a comprehensive listing of the charges for inpatient and outpatient services provided by our hospitals, also known as the chargemaster.

While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires hospitals to make their standard charges public, the chargemaster is not a intended to be used by patients to comparison shop between hospitals or to estimate the actual cost of health care services.

Therefore, the chargemaster list does not provide an accurate estimate of individual out-of-pocket expenses for services. For more information about the cost of your care or to request an individualized estimate, please contact our patient financial services staff:

If you have already scheduled a test or service at one of our hospitals, please have your upcoming date of service readily available. If you have insurance, please have your insurance card available when you call. This will assist us in providing you a better estimate.

Please understand the information provided will be an estimate based on the information available before services are rendered and is not a guarantee. In some cases, additional services may be needed.
